Boerboel Temperament
If you want to buy a South African Boerboel puppy, it’s smart to do a little research first. This breed is a robust and confident working dog and can be a loyal companion. They are affectionate and loving with their family and thrive on attention. However, these are territorial pups that can be aggressive if not socialized and trained correctly.
With a long history of guarding farms, they make good watchdogs. Importantly, they are not welcoming to strangers and may become fierce if they perceive their family is in danger. A confrontation from other dogs can also trigger their fighting instincts, so they don’t do well in dog parks. Owners should always use a leash when walking this breed. Overall, these canines require experienced trainers and handlers, and they are not recommended for first-time dog owners.
These over-sized pups need vigorous outdoor exercise every day to stay calm and centered. They can get their exercise in yards with sturdy fences but should never be left to roam.
Boerboel Health Considerations
If you’re considering adopting a South African Boerboel puppy, make sure you understand this breed’s special health considerations. The average life span is between 8-10 years. While this is an exceptionally robust breed, some health issues to monitor for include:
- Hip Dysplasia

- Heart Disease
As with all breeds, keep your dog up-to-date on shots and vaccines, and take your pup to the vet regularly for checkups.
